Sight and Smoking.


Smokers will not believe what n vet
eran tobacco dealer told me the other
day, and that was that not one of them
could tell, by the sense of taste, unaidcd
by that of sight, when cigar OF pipe
full of tobacco was drawing nicely or
was entirely out. In other words, a
smoker, by closing his eyes, could not
tell whether his cigar was lighted oil
was out. This fact, incredible at first
thought, he said, was brought to his
immediate notice by watching blind
man, who was great smoker, smoke,
or at least attempt to smoke, his pipe.
The blind smoker never knew when
the pipe was lighted until he placed
his finger over the bowl and felt the
heat of the burning tobacco. Many
times he pufi'ed away at the pipe, filled
of course, with tobacco, enjoying il
apparently rs well rs when emitting
puAs of smoke, although not the trace
OF fire was to be found in the bowl
and not particle of smoke either en-
tered his mouth or was expelled there
from. II any one doubts the correct
ness of this assertion Let him try L
light cigar or pipe while his eyes ar,
blindfoldcd. - Chicago Journal.

Heaven is His Home.

An editor died and slowly wended
his way down to where he supposed a
warm reception awaited him. The
devil met him and said: "For many
years thou hast borne the blame for
many errors that the printers made IN
the paper. The paper has gone, alas,
for So, and the So, alas, has often failed
TO come in. The printers have be-
deviled thee for wages Saturday night
when thou hast not one cent to thv
name. Men have taken the paper
without paying for it, and cursed thee
for not getting up a better paper.
Thou hadst been called a dead beat by
the passenger conductors when thou
hast shown thy annual pass to his en-
vious gaze. All these things thou hast
borne in silence Thou canst not
come in here" And he fred him.
As he did SO he murmured to himself:
- ''Heaven is his home, and besides, if
we had let him come in here, he would
have been continually dunning his de-
linquent subscribers, and thus created
discord in my kingdom"

How to Enjoy Life.
[Charlotte Chronicle.

An unknown contemporary gives us
the following outlines and philosophi-
cal sentiments on " how to enjoy life, y
and if we will read it up carefully and
practice it the beneficial results cannot
be mistaken or its wisdom go unim-
proved. In the first place much de-
pends in this life on how we take
things. There are some people WHO
are always grumbling, always COM
planning. Nothing suits them. Every
thing goes wrong. Ii the weather is
clear, it is rather too warm or too cold.
There is snow when there should be
rain, and rain when there should be
fair skies. Matters in business and
social way are never all right. The
neighbors are perpetually wrong. The
world itself revolves in an opposite di-
rection. Such people are born fussing.
They grow up fussing, and they fuss
on until they fuss themselves into early
graves.
1t does seem sometimes as if this
class of people is always increasing.
! Perhaps it is due to the sharp competi-
ton and rapid motion and steady
strain of our nineteenth century civil
lization. Perhaps it is due to the in
dividual rivalry of our day. But what
ever the reason may be the fact is a
mistake.
| The way to enjoy life is to infuse
into it all the contentment we can. We
should look at the changes Of the
weather philosophically. We should
be mutually tolerant of one another,
and do unto others as we would have
Others to do unto us. We should no,
reach out after the earth when we
know that the earth is big enough for
several billions of people just as de-
/ serving as ourselves.
A good conscience, pure heart and
contented mind-these form the sub
ject of long and happy life.

Women, bless their dear hearts, if it
was not for them men would soon de-
generate and becomes savage, as Of
old but gentle, confding, lovable wo
man, with her soft, winning ways, ap-
peals to all that is fine and noble in
mans nature, and keeps him up to that
level that he has succeeded in reach
ing. Even in battle, when he thinks
as little OF spilling the blood of his fel-
bowman as he would of killing a dog,
when his animal passions are wrought
up to such degree that he resembles
more the untutored savage than an in
telligent being, the sight of woman,
or the sound of her voice, will act upon
him like magic. He no longer has that
thirst for blood, his hard face relaxes
and becomes again soft and tender,
and his mind turns 10 thoughts of bet
ter things. Now, If woman should
suddenly be removed from our earth.
and man, the alleged noblest work of
God, should be left to paddle his own
canoe, how long would it be ere he
would go about armed to the teeth with
an can -lick-my- weight -wildcatsex
preston on his face. Murder and
rapine would soon be in full sway, and
he could hold his head up only SO long
as he could weld his sword, or pull
trigger. Man is safe as long as he has
the love of woman, or the chance to
win it.

fThe Tobacco Grower.I

OF all the passions, woman's love is
the holiest. purest, and most steadfast
1t is flower that blooms alike in sun
shine and shadow an evergreen of the
heart; thing imperishable amid the
perishable. The object upon which
she places her love and affection, may,
as is often the case, prove unworthy of
her, yet she is Interchangeable, her cling
ing, tender, holy love never wavers
How often in our walk through life
have we seen the grand reality of
woman's love-have seen her enter
the gilded saloon of intemperance, and
strive to win the husband, father, or
brother away from the vintage that
kills-aye, even helping him who at
the consecrated altar promised to love,
cherish and protect her up from the
gutter, with the filth of his degrada-
ton upon him, and guiding his stag
gering footsteps along the city's streets,
clinging to him amid it all, though her
pure, white brow be suffused with
shame from the coarse jests of the
passing crowd.
With man it is different. He may
love fondly and, as he thinks, de-
votedly, yet his love is subject to many
temporary cessations; with the dear
one out of sight his thoughts will often
stray to others; he will toy with beauty
wherever he can, and for the time
being, forget her who in thought, word
and deed is as true to him as the
needle to the pole. Men will often
indulge in what they term "a slight
f1irtation;" that is, conceive a slight
attachment for some pure, gentle
woman, accompany her constantly in
her walks and pastimes and for the
time being give her every attention re-
quired by professed lover, then, all
of sudden grow tired and desert her.
This is dishonorable, ungentlemanly,
and above all things, the most heart
less and cruel thing he could be guilty
of, for she may have conceived a
lSlluCl pdoSlOll lO1 ultli, dllu luC IOsS
of pure, virtuous woman is the grand
est, holiest treasure man can win; it
brings HIM a glimpse of the lost Eden,
and makes his life dream OF Heaven.
If he has won her holy, sinless love,
what remedy has she? None. She
cannot drive away her sorrowful men,
ories by mingling in scenes of gayety
and mirth she cannot quench her sor-
SOW in the flow Of the bottle, amid the
clash of glasses, the bacchanalian song,
or go down to death amid the shocks
of battle-no, she must pine in secret
ever hoping and longing for the false
ones return, yet ever doomed to dis
appointment. Then we say to him
who glories in stainless manhood
and an untarnished honor, trlhe not
with woman's love.

to more than they imagine and nine out ot
ten OF them go from bad to worse until
